And the food stamps still aren't going through... Everything is worse now, and the sacrifice of the poorest of us was for nothing

My family went from "You're just paranoid, we have checks and balances" to "scary times we're living in right now"

Now healthcare is completely unaffordable, and I still don't have food stamps for this month...

My partner and I have discussed getting officially married so they would have health insurance, or staying as we are so I can get disability benefits... It's rough either way 😕

Witnesses testify to alleged unsanitary, squalid conditions inside Broadview ICE facility The question on Tuesday was, what happens inside the walls of the Broadway immigration detention center where attorneys, politicians and protesters have been turned away? The stories from court are sh...

Government attorneys filed a layout of the Broadview facility and in court, brought up the fact that there are showers at the processing center, but they do not work.

"One is reminded of Auschwitz. There were showers there that didn't work, too." - Judge Robert Gettleman

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

If I'm ever able to visit Japan, I'll definitely check it out! Thank you

A vegetarian ramen place would be a dream

A lot of people are sharing articles about how to stretch your food budget or cook like our grandparents did to survive.

Our grandparents lived through the Great Depression.

If we’re having to resort to what they did… things are much worse than folks are willing to admit.

Oh jeez x.x I truly hope that Canada doesn't end up in the same sorry state we're in. I've never been as stressed about the state of the world as I am now

Oh no... Once the separation of powers doesn't work as it should, it all goes downhill from there... I truly hope that they work to keep things intact. I would hate to see Canada go down a similar hole as the U.S. has 💔

"Checks and balances will keep him in check" -Most Americans in January 🫩

I got a letter from disability that said they acknowledged my disability. Still got denied SSI

If they don't comply by Monday, then they need to face consequences. Reinstate SNAP or get arrested. (He should already be in prison, but still. We need to put the foot down. No one is above the law)

Wondering if Spotify needs the Fox and Tesla treatment with people protesting outside their headquarters. After all optics is another big part of being a big company 🤔

Immigrants commit fewer crimes.

Immigrants pay taxes.

Immigrants contribute over $2 trillion to the economy.

The problem isn't immigrants.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Every accusation is a confession.
They're literally kidnapping people off the streets right now and sending them to camps, and they somehow think the people against that are the Nazis? 🫩

Just as we start to go without SNAP... They're starving us. They want us to act out so they have an excuse for martial law... I'm so tired of this reality 🫩

Two Die in NYC Basements as Squall Brings Massive Rain Burst to City Two men, one in Central Brooklyn and another in Upper Manhattan, were found dead in flooded areas after intense rain arrived late on Thursday.

I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

**While only making the federal minimum wage

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

Emergency No Kings this Thursday 10/30

Twenty-five states are suing the Trump administration’s U.S. Department of Agriculture over the looming suspension of SNAP benefits.

*Would be able to work again if I took this medication*
*Don't have access to the medication because it's not covered by medicaid*

Text is a screenshot of a social media post from DoorDash that says: @DoorDash • 7h The federal government shutdown threatens SNAP benefits for 40 million Americans this week. We're launching an Emergency Food Response to help: delivering 1 million free meals through 300+ food banks, and waiving delivery and service fees for 300k grocery orders for SNAP recipients. It's a stopgap, not a solution. But help is needed now. Read more: about.doordash.com/en-us/news/sna...

This is what corporations should be doing to face this moment!! 🤝

Door Dash now we just need you to pay employees their fair share.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

On the Nextdoor app, over half the current posts are my neighbors coming up with ideas to feed people who will be impacted by lack of SNAP. One popular post is even starting a grocery buddy/adopt a family to feed trend. It's very heartwarming to see the community come together like this 🌸

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.
